It’s always around this time of year that I start to get the itch to go somewhere. Whether it’s up north to connect with family for the holidays, out west to take in some beautiful scenery, or back south to soak up some rays and reminisce, I just get the travel bug.

That photo was taken exactly one year ago yesterday. Now, I’m a huge fan of a white Christmas but a white Thanksgiving is not something I need. With as hard as it’s currently raining and as cold as it’s been getting at night, all I can think is with just a small drop in temperature we’d be getting a massive snow storm today, too.

Once place I’d really like to go this winter is back to St. Augustine. One of my favorite events from the four years I lived there was the annual Nights of Lights celebration. It actually kicks off this weekend, and I would really love to share it’s beauty with my family. Plus maybe Bubbles could get in a little kiddie golf that doesn’t require sweatpants and a pullover.

The Hyatt Place near the Jacksonville Airport is just up the road from St. Augustine and would be a great “home base” to stay at while visiting. You can experience all Jax has to offer, yet still make quick trips down to St. Augustine and the surrounding area. Right now the Hyatt is offering 20% off a stay of 2+ nights and 25% off a stay 3+ nights with promo code WSALEA when you book by November 30th. It’s good at the Hyatt Place Jacksonville Airport and these other Hyatt Hotel locations.

If you’d rather head into the snow versus out of it there’s a special Snow on Sale offer for Colorado, Utah and Nevada. Book the special from Hyatt.com through April 7th, 2016 and you’ll earn a free night’s stay from participating resorts.

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Casino and Spa, because it looks breathtaking. My hubby and I would love to take some time off just for us, and celebrate just us, and hopefully make us a stronger couple.

I’d use it to stay at the Hyatt Place Las Vegas!! I have only been to Vegas twice, and would love to go back! this property looks really nice! thanks SO much for the chance to win this! It’d be a dream come true!

I would like to stay at the Hyatt House Belmont/Redwood Shores because it is close to where my childhood friend lives now. I haven’t seen her for over ten years since she moved out West so this would be great.

I would love to stay at the Hyatt Place Nashville/Opryland. I need a vacation. I am a single mother of three children and I work full time. I am always on the go and hate to admit it…stressed out. I would love to take my kids and just go relax for a few days. And I have always wanted to visit Opryland!

I would love to visit Hyatt Escala Lodge at Park City. I’ve visited before during ski season and the runs are fantastic. There is a trolley that runs through a historic village and great restaurants in the area. It’s also home of one of the Winter Olympics — go USA!!

I would love to take my husband to Hyatt Regency Schaumburg-Chicago because we are from Chicago and have not seen our friends and family in years. He will be retiring in 2016 and this would be a great gift.

If I went on a vacation I would stay at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa. My kids have been begging to go to Colorado to ski and I am not a big fan of skiing..so this hotel offers a SPA for me!!! However, since my home town is a cold place…I would really stay at the Park Hyatt on Michigan ave. I have ALWAYS wanted to stay there and I know that’s where the celebrities stay when they visit Chicago. Chicago has SOOO much to offer, especially in the winter downtown. Shopping on Michigan ave, Macy’s on State, Ice Skating, Navy Pier, and my favorite Mag Mile Parade.
